Description: This photograph shows a man duck hunting. It was most likely taken around the Sandusky area. During the late 1800s, the Lake Erie marshes were known as some of the best waterfowl hunting areas in the United States. As early as 1890 much of the wetland area was being operated for private shooting. By the end of 1951 the entire 30,000 acres of remaining marshland along Lake Erie, from Toledo to Sandusky, was under private club ownership. Today, the region still supports some of the most intensively developed and managed waterfowling clubs in the Midwest. The Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, purchased by the Ohio Division of Wildlife in August 1951, lies in some of Ohio’s finest remaining wetlands. The marsh complex has historically been inhabited by large numbers of waterfowl, waterbirds, shorebirds, and songbirds. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "Ident. Sandusky sailing club. Credit line:Ohio State Dept. of Conservation." A group of sailboats from the Sandusky Sailing Club sail along Lake Erie in Ohio. The club was founded in 1932 when an increase in dock fees at Sandusky's Battery Park Marina brought several sailors together to protest. There were 44 charter members and their dues were set at 25 cents per year. The club is still in existence today and hosts several different kinds of events including regattas, sailing festivals, and special island races. They also offer facilities for sailboats and learning to sail programs for children. View on Ohio Memory.
